In a gripping showdown that had fans on the edge of their seats, White overcame a fierce challenge from Maroon to secure an 82-77 win in overtime.

As the game entered its climax, the tension was palpable. White's lead dwindled to nothing as Maroon surged back, tying the game at 70-70 with a determined effort led by Christian Banlao. However, in the face of adversity, Jison emerged as the hero, scoring critical buckets and ultimately hitting two free throws late in overtime to stretch the lead to six points. His scoring, combined with an impressive 19 points and 16 rebounds from Torres, kept White steady as Maroon desperately clawed to regain momentum.

Despite a valiant effort from Maroon, highlighted by Joel Cuardo's late-game three-pointer and Leo Arganda's 14 points, they couldn't convert enough opportunities in the clutch. As the clock wound down, missed shots and turnovers haunted Maroon, allowing White to hold off the challenge and claim the victory. With this win, White demonstrated resilience and teamwork, ensuring their place in the spotlight as they head into future matchups.
